On the Resource Planet, there were numerous battle troops from the Qiongqi Star Cluster right from the start.

As time progressed, the number of these battle troops increased more and more.

Moreover, these people conducted search missions in teams of five.

While one five-person team was executing a search mission, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Slash!"

The person who appeared in front of them was none other than Gu Qijue.

Gu Qijue wielded the Thunder Battle Saber and swiftly wiped out three Qiongqi Star Cluster soldiers.

The remaining two were easily dispatched by Ziling with her purple transparent short sword.

With that, only one remained, raising his hands in surrender.

"I surrender, I surrender, please don't kill me."

Lin Zhicong was nearly scared to death; it was his first time on the battlefield, and he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

A short while ago, they were joking around, and the next moment, his four teammates ended up as corpses.

Gu Qijue didn't expect to be so lucky, casually picking a team to make a move on, and it turned out to be a soft one.

Gu Qijue didn't pay attention to Lin Zhicong, and directly asked, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Zhicong was fully prepared to be a captive, "We are looking for a D-Class Cosmic Mechanician."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Qijue gasped in surprise.

A D-Class Cosmic Mechanician is probably as valuable as the Supreme Leader of the Vermilion Bird Empire.

But he was puzzled, why would someone so important appear so easily on the battlefield?

Anyway, Lin Zhicong was very cooperative, and things he didn't understand could be directly asked of him.

"Why is this mechanician here?"

Lin Zhicong was indeed responsive, and while Gu Qijue needed this kind of captive,

if someone from the Emperor Star Alliance dared to cooperate in this way, he would definitely twist off their head.

"Apparently, it was a meticulously planned escape by this mechanician."

"We barely managed to trap him on this Resource Planet."

"Certainly, your Vermilion Bird Empire's agents should have already made contact with him."

Gu Qijue did not answer Lin Zhicong's question but continued to ask, "Do you have information on the mechanician?"

Lin Zhicong was a bit troubled this time, "Yes, but I can't transmit it to you, otherwise the Qiongqi Empire can trace the resource transmission record."

"You can use their mobile smart-brain to see."

Lin Zhicong pointed to his companion on the ground unkindly.

Gu Qijue didn't mind, and directly took a smart wristband off someone's arm, which was the so-called smart-brain.

The operation methods of the Vermilion Bird Empire and Qiongqi Empire's smart-brains were quite similar; he soon figured it out.

When he opened this smart-brain, he was somewhat astonished to behold the virtual imagery projected before him.

Gu Qijue spoke uncertainly, "Is the D-Class Cosmic Mechanician a child?"

What he saw was a white-haired boy about eleven or twelve years old.

Lin Zhicong shook his head, "Not a child, he is of the Celestial Race."

"A thousand years of a Celestial's life equals one year of human change in appearance."

"This Celestial person looks small, but is actually an old monster over thirteen thousand years old."

After Lin Zhicong explained, Gu Qijue understood.

He nodded slightly, and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Captives like Lin Zhicong were quite useful, and Gu Qijue indeed did not wish to kill him.

Lin Zhicong was terrified by Gu Qijue's words.

Despite being a Demigod, he was very afraid of death.

If it weren't for being executed on the spot if he didn't go to the battlefield, he would never have gone.

Lin Zhicong's desire for survival was very strong; he thought for a moment and said, "I can provide intelligence on my Qiongqi Star Cluster battle troops."

After listening, Gu Qijue gave it some thought and decided not to kill Lin Zhicong.

Finding such a spineless prisoner was definitely rare.

If he killed Lin Zhicong now, he'd likely never find such a cooperative captive again.

Gu Qijue immediately put away the Thunder Battle Saber.

Then prepared to take Ziling with him to find the Celestial Mechanician named Tian Li.

He had already reviewed Tian Li's detailed information; Tian Li turned out to be the chief scientist of a Star Cluster-level Civilization named Celestial Essence Star Cluster.

Celestial Essence Star Cluster was raided by the Qiongqi Star Cluster while at war with three other Star Cluster-level Civilizations.

Celestial Essence Star Cluster's leadership was mostly taken away by the Qiongqi Star Cluster.

Even the chief scientist Tian Li was captured.

Gu Qijue felt he had a chance to invite Tian Li to the Emperor Star for a visit.

Tian Li was a caged canary whether within the Qiongqi Star Cluster or the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

However, if Tian Li went to the Emperor Star Alliance, it would be different!

Once Tian Li arrived at the Emperor Star, he could become an ally of the Emperor Star.

However, the current biggest problem was that no one knew where Tian Li actually was.

...

"Buzz——"

In a forest, a white-haired boy used powerful spiritual power to eliminate all the Qiongqi Star Cluster's battle troops.

The white-haired boy was trembling all over; he was severely injured, and his spiritual power was nearly exhausted.

He was Tian Li, the chief scientist and mechanician of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

Celestial Essence Star Cluster paid a heavy price for its arrogance.

If the Supreme Leader and other executives were willing to conquer step by step, instead of fighting on multiple fronts, double or even triple front battles,

the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization wouldn't have suffered such devastating blows!

But now saying that doesn't mean anything.

He must escape, so the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization has hope.

But he had no decent mechanical equipment on him, nor did he possess the conditions for building machinery.

His only means of self-defense was his powerful spiritual power.

Unfortunately, he had already consumed massive amounts of spiritual power to escape, and now his spiritual power was about to be completely depleted.

Tian Li moved through the forest for a while, and the invisibility barrier he had was beginning to lose its effect.

This invisibility barrier was hastily assembled by him; it had clearly reached its limit.

As the invisibility barrier completely vanished, Tian Li saw four dead bodies and a "critically injured" Qiongqi Star Cluster soldier.

Lin Zhicong never dreamed that immense fortune would come so suddenly.

Previously, he inflicted injuries on himself to make them look serious while actually avoiding vital areas.

Seeing Tian Li, an unexpected big catch appearing before him, Lin Zhicong naturally dropped his act!

He immediately got up and sent out a distress signal.

The nearest person to him was Gu Qijue and Ziling, who thus received his distress signal.

At the same time, after sending out the signal, Lin Zhicong regretted it.

He forgot an incredibly important fact: Gu Qijue and Ziling also carried their mobile smart-brain devices.

Sure enough, as Lin Zhicong and Tian Li were in a tense standoff, Gu Qijue returned, ready to silence him for betraying them.

He initially thought Lin Zhicong had sold him and Ziling out.

But upon returning, he realized Lin Zhicong handed him an unexpected big surprise!
